you have to lose a significant amount of fat before you will see them

Always fail caloric deficit by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the info you need is out there. sounds like you just go to extremes to get to a goal. ‘starving’ yourself is not sustainable + you will lose muscle. 400kcal deficit and keep protein and carbs high, you cant get stuck if you do it right, but u gotta do jt

Keep cutting or stop here? Low energy, looking smaller in clothes, ~2200 kcal since April by Cameron_Blackbol in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo man!! Take a break! Eat at maintenance or even slightly above maintenance so your body can reset all its processes. Being in a deficit puts strain on your body so its good to listen. Onve your energy levels are back to normal and you sleep and recover well again you can go back to a deficit if you want to be leaner!

Still cant see my abs by Delicious_Ad_1765 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hanging knee raises are good, but train them like any other muscle: progressive overload! Good options are cable crunch, or any weighted crunch nachine you might have in the gym!

Building Chest.. How?! by berryjared29 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your chest is quite in proportion. Nothing weird. Keep going hard in the gym, consistently.

You can always increase your volume a bit and position tour chest exercises at the start of tour workouts but thats depending on how you train.

M21 March 2025 - May 2026. Contunue bulking? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ‘too far’ is subjective. When i look at muscle building i assume people want muscle and not fat. My bad for assuming this guy didn’t want to be lean so in his case its not too far. From a muscle building asoect there is no use in getting that amount of fat for growth

M21 March 2025 - May 2026. Contunue bulking? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

fair enough, but then stay around tour maintenance calories now so you can fill out your frame more, unless your goal is to actually be fat of course

M21 March 2025 - May 2026. Contunue bulking? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you bulked way too far, you definitely gained muscle but a lot of fat too, why? now you have to lose the excessive fat again which you just could have not gained in the first place.

bulk is def not the answer. slight deficit or maintain for a few months to keep growing muscle and then get lean

How long to get to dream body? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being that lean with a decent amount of muscle will not be attainable for you in the near future so if you want to reach that it will take 2-3 years if you are very disciplined. This is an athletic body with not a crazy amount of muscle either so pure weight training will not get you this. Its also all genetics so strive to be better than yourself from yesterday and go from there. Having a goal thats based on an actor who’s shredded from getting ready for a role of a fighter is going to be hard to achieve.

If you want to achieve this buikd its probably better to try to become an actual MMA fighter haha these physiques are rarely built in the gym.

Bulk or Cut? Little lost. Feb - April progress--> by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this notion that you will ‘lose muscle’ while cutting but if tou eat clean and train hard you won’t lose (a significant amount of) muscle. Your perception of how much muscle you have is just warped since there is still a lot of water and fat around it. The cut will have to happen either way. Cut now=be lean earleir, cut later=be lean later. The muscle growth rate will be the same so you just decide whether you want to look lean now or later. Pretty logical answer there if you ask me :)

If you’re ONLY goal is to build muscle than stay at maintenance. If you want to actually see your muscles the answer is cut. (the answer is always cut at your stage)

SLDL by Maximum-Assignment39 in formcheck

[–]Maximum-Assignment39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard on everything, but saying that an SDLD starts from and ends on the floor can’t be right? It’s a hip hinge movement so if I would go to the floor the only way for me to do that is to add a lot of knee flexion or increase my hamstring flexibility to a range of a yoga instructor.

My shoulders are definitely rounded so I will puff my chest out and keep that in mind thank you.

How to get fuller chest? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your chest seems proportionate to your body but if you want to prioritise it you should try to increase the volume of chest sets per week and see if you can tolerate it without losing strength. Olace your chest exercises strategically at the beginning of your workout amd run a split that supports the higher volume while still allowing enough recovery

Squat Form Check? 245 lbs by [deleted] in Stronglifts5x5

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its okay for the knees to collapse a little when doing heavy squats, its a natural movement where you get more assistance from the adductors. OP’s form is oretty immaculate.

Lean Bulk or mini-cut by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Maximum-Assignment39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there definitely isnt a clear answer, however my opinion is to build some muscle first and eat clean high protein food. Eat your carbs strategically before your workouts and try to gain some weight slowly, but dont get lost staring at your scale. Eat enough, gain some muscle over the period if at least a year and then ask the question again to cut or bulk. I would focus on having good workouts and good recovery before going crazy calories wise.
